Nature Cat Premiere

Premieres at 4pm Wednesday, Nov. 25, on CET

Fred may look like a house cat, but this extraordinary feline dreams of exploring the great outdoors! When his family leaves for the day, Fred transforms into Nature Cat, the backyard explorer extraordinaire! Nature Cat can’t wait to get outside for a day of backyard nature excursions and bravery, but there’s one problem: he’s still a house cat with no instincts for nature! Fortunately Nature Cat’s animal friends are at his side to share in his deep love for Mother Nature, passion for exploring the great outdoors and swashbuckling wanderlust of old-fashioned backyard adventure.

Although Nature Cat will become part of the regular PBS Kids schedule in January, the premiere will be at 4pm Wednesday, Nov. 25, on CET / ThinkTV16.

The Nature Cat television series is also part of a multiplatform connected learning experience that will include interactive content online and on mobile devices. Games, hands-on activities and parent resources will be available online at www.pbskids.org as well as through mobile apps. Nature Cat’s digital content will help inspire children’s curiosity and excitement about nature. The mobile experience in particular will provide tools to encourage and support exploration and engagement with the natural world.
